Alex Walker

Born: May 27, 1973

It can deepen your melancholy or lift you to a soothing plateau, which is indeed music of distinction. Alex was taught early in life that dreams are made to be fulfilled, and at the tender age of 12, decided that he would be a recording artist one day. His early musical inspirations include Beethoven, Bach and David Foster, then graduated to David Sanborn, Michael Brecker, Phil Woods, Gerald Albright, Sonny Rollins and Cannonball Adderley. His first release, an independently produced and self-titled album, Alex Walker, will leave an indelible stamp in the hearts of the listener
